Well.well..well, that 2 F-16s less for Thailand military to flex its wings about. Fucking show off. Too bad those birds weren't shot down by Cambodian military SAMs. That's about $75 millions go down in flames.
Maybe it wasn´t Cambodian SAMs
but It was Khmer Black Magic
Those pilots forgot to wear amulets issued by Thai monk in Bangkok?
The image is not F-16. Please put the right image in here. Thanks!
The point is, two of Thailand freak'n F-16 crashed. Who cares if there isn't any images of two exploding F-16 caught on picture or video. Damn procrastinators. This image was from a passengers plane crashed in a stormy day in Phuket several years ago. A lot of lives lost on that day.
